Replace water heater if tank wall is leaking.These things have short warranty period.Stainless steel will theoretically last longer, but steel tank water heaters have replaceable anode rod to prevent rust-out.http://waterheatertimer.org/How-to-install-under-counter-water-heater.htmlhttp://waterheatertimer.org/Replace-anode-rod.htmlBe sure to recycle the old metal.http://waterheatertimer.org/How-to-recycle-water-heater.html If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/gene_9f0ef4df2f9897e7

The use-and-care manual says that the 'product will eventually fail,' and to install a drain catch pan.The product has stainless steel tank with 3 year warranty. 1-800-558-5700.The manual does not show parts diagram, element, or anode rod. This indicates that operation is inside a sealed 1-piece unit not meant for repairs.High clorine content of water, and hard water, and water pressure over 80 psi will adversely affect any tank heater, and shorten lifespan causing probable leak.Turn off power:If you can remove cover from H770, then inspect 750 watt element for possible leaking. Then replace with new element of unknown type if element is leaking.If leaking is coming from the tank itself, then the unit cannot be repaired. This is true for all tank water heaters.http://waterheatertimer.org/Leaking-water-heater.htmlhttp://waterheatertimer.org/How-to-install-under-counter-water-heater.html If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/gene_9f0ef4df2f9897e7

This is the manual. It gives you al the specifications, ie, 1500 watt, temp range and so on, where you may be able to go to someplace like Home Depot and get the replacement element. I just don't know if you can get it in copper but, there is an 800 number listed in the manual where maybe they can point you in the right direction. First and foremost, I would make sure you have power to the unit. It should probably have it's own circuit btu, who knows. Check your breaker panel and make sure all breakers are on and not tripped. If one is tripped, reset it and try your heater. If you are electrical savvy, you can check for power at the unit and, check to make sure you have power through the heating element. It's probably the most common failure in these units and it's only 110v so it's not really designed to provide for a whole household. Anyway, I would start by checking the power and so on and, if you have a loss of power through the element, replace it.
